He's emitting C as an intermediate form. I'm asking if the C that's emitted is meeting MISRA or any other recognized standard for secure and robust C code.

What about nonhuman animals that pass the mirror test, use tools, form social bonds, communicate, learn from one another, have a cultural memory, and mourn their dead? Would you consider those conscious?

That's good information to have. Thanks.

When compiling to C, does it use MISRA C or some other accepted standard for how to write secure and reliable C?

It doesn't need to kill all humans on its own to be a concern. It just needs to identify your movements, decide you're guilty of a crime, and send armed government thugs to eliminate the problem of your jaywalking.

Wow. Thanks for the helpful and detailed reply. Once I have my rig set back up I'll look into these.

Mine from that company so far are library-style open shelves. I have a vacuum attachment I like for cleaning shelves and books, so it doesn't require a feather duster. I keep certain books inside doors and backs. The same company also

That's a really nice example. Thanks.

Flow control is not always necessary. Other times it can be minimized. The point is not to never branch, but to avoid unnecessary ones. It's not applicable to every situation, but one way to do this is some very basic fuzzy logic. You

A (hopefully interesting) aside about avoiding branches is if you don't need an exact answer but need your code to make a decision based on an approximation over some known range, you can employ a basic fuzzy logic method. Serially add

The cultural shift happened largely because investment banking, venture capital, and leveraged buyout raiders didn't really exist before in any meaningful way compared to today. People should be careful by the way, especially here, tra

Ikea is not high quality compared to most gallery-style furniture. If you're buying flat-pack furniture to assemble at home few brands will serve you better. Oddly enough, none of my bookcases in my new house are Billy ones though. Yes

When I last took a serious look at btrfs its RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes could lose a whole lot of data if a single drive crashed or if the system lost power during a write. That's not supposed to happen on a RAID system with a journal. Fr

I wasn't replying to a question of jurisdiction. It was a statement that surveillance is fine until there's personal gain involved. That is not consistent with the text or intent of the amendment. Other countries also have rights

What Trump and his followers mean by it, though, is that any disagreement with Trump on policy, strategy, tactics, procedure, or belief is anti-American. The way they use the term "anti-American" is anti-American. Therefore the te

VR might be worth it if there's a modern Descent VR and a modern X-wing vs TIE Fighter VR. Hawken was a fun game and I was looking forward to trying it in VR, but the servers are offline. There's a VR mod for Mechwarrior 5, and me

It was a little disappointing to me given there were TurboAssembler, Turbo C, Turbo Pascal, Turbo Basic, and Turbo Prolog and that Borland had a trademark for Turbo Lisp that I don't think I ever saw an available version of that.

Is it software having this effect or management over software products? I don't see many academic or hobby software projects constantly changing what's important to them on a whim. It can be seen all the time in the software indus

Yet UPS still delivers packages better than FedEx. The most reliable cars are made by Toyota, Subaru, and Honda in that order. Subaru is unionized. Toyota and Honda are not in the US, but have some union membership among employees in Japan.

It's a badly worded caption. The leftmost image is a wolf skull. To the right of that, in the middle, is the thylacine skull. The rightmost one is a fox skull.

That's where I stopped reading. It's just so egregiously wrong I didn't have faith in the rest of the article being useful.

I'm not a doctor or biologist, but remember that bacteria is a far simpler organism with a much shorter individual lifespan than a human. Depending on the species and their environment, they might divide every 12 minutes or every 24 ho

Using explicitly checked errors instead of exceptions was a considered design choice and is well explained in the Go literature. It may not be to everyone's taste, but there are reasons for it. One of those reasons is how often very no

This sounds like he's discounting Lisp, Scheme, OCaml, and Haskell in favor of something that's more of a safer, fresher take on the C language for his target group. The real competition for a language like Go these days are Rust,

Some cinemas do present some sporting events. The rights negotiations for sporting events are multi-layered and complex. Your average soccer or MLB game is not likely to be negotiated for that venue, and a whole-season license is unlikely.
